When to book in Houghton Bay
A Houghton Bay roof is due when lichen shows on the harbour slope. Late summer is the window before winter salt.
Walk Houghton Bay and you mostly see beach-facing weatherboard and 1920s–1950s coastal homes. The cladding we quote is weatherboard and stucco — pressure and mix change with that, not a suburb average.
Houghton Bay sits in a pocket that still cops salt. Beach-facing walls chalk and pit if they are blasted; a low-pressure wash is the safe option on this paint.
Salt air holds lichen on north-facing Houghton Bay slopes. We spray-and-leave a biocide — no blasting that strips Colorsteel. Due every 18–24 months.
